Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A table that links requirements to their origin and traces them throughout the project life cycle






2. Document containing the results of the qualitative risk analysis - quantitative risk analysis and risk response planning. details all identified risks including description - category - cause - probability of occurring - impact on objectives - propos






3. Technique that computes or iterates the project cost or project schedule many times using input values selected at random from probability distributions of possible costs or durations - to calculate a distribution of total project costs or completion






4. Documenting the actions necessary to define - prepare - integrate and coordinate all subsidiary plans






5. An artifact that is produced - is quantifiable and can be either an end item in itself or a component item






6. Document that establishes criteria and activities for developing and controlling the project schedule






7. Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. activity attributes include activity codes - predecessor activities - successor activities - logical relationships - leads and lags - resource r






8. Logical relationship where completion of work of the successor activity cannot finish until the completion of work of the predecessor activity.






9. Planning technique used to provide products - services and results that truly reflect customer requirements by translating those customer requirements into the appropriate technical requirements for each phase of project product development






10. Area of project management defined by its knowledge requirements and described in terms of its component processes - practices - inputs - outputs - tools and techniques






11. Auditing the quality requirements and the results from quality control measurements to ensure appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are used






12. The time in calendar units between the start and finish of a schedule activity






13. Developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and to reduce threats to project objectives






14. Any of all external environmental factors and internal organizational environmental factors that surround or influence the projects success. these factors are from any or all of the enterprises involved in the project and include organizational cultu






15. Budgeted cost of work performed






16. Logical relationship where completion of the successor schedule activity is dependent upon the initiation of the predecessor schedule activity






17. Group of related schedule activities aggregated at some summary level and displayed as a single activity at that summary level. same as summary activity.






18. Implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - identifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project






19. The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements






20. Identifying all people or organizations impacted by the project and documenting relevant information regarding their interest - involvement and impact on project success






21. Processes required to manage the timely completion of a project






22. Partially complete document in a predefined format that provides a defined structure for collecting - organizing and presenting information and data






23. Condition or situation unfavorable to the project - a negative set of circumstances - a negative set of events - a risk that will have a negative impact on a project objective if it occurs - or a possibility for negative changes






24. Processes and activities of the performing organization that determine quality policies - objectives and responsibilities so that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken






25. Deliverable that is subject to approval by the project sponsor or customer






26. Schedule activity that determines when the logical successor activity can begin or end






27. Type of procurement document whereby the buyer requests a potential seller to provide various pieces of information related to a product or service or seller capability






28. Slack - Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






29. The process of prioritizing risks for further analysis or action by assessing and combining their probability of occurrence and impact






30. Process which generates hundreds or thousands of probable performance outcomes based on probability distributions for cost and schedule on individual tasks. the outcomes are used to generate a probability distribution for a project as a whole.






31. The expected total cost of a schedule activity - a work breakdown structure component or the project when the defined scope of work will be completed. Calculated based on performance to date or estimated by the project team based on other factors






32. Technique for estimating that applies a weighted average of optimistic - pessimistic and most likely estimates when there is uncertainty with the individual activity estimates






33. Estimate or prediction of conditions and events in the projects future based on information and knowledge available at the time of the forecast. information is based on the project's past performance and expected future performance
